Who attended Channel Nine's Liberal Party fundraiser?

The Liberal Party’s $10,000 per head fundraiser at the Nine Network’s Sydney studios on Monday night proceeded without a hitch, despite its public revelation in the early afternoon.

Hosted by Nine chief executive Hugh Marks and his in-house lobbyist Clare Gill, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and a decent chunk of his cabinet (Deputy Senate Leader Simon Birmingham, Communications Minister Paul Fletcher, Government Services Minister Stuart Robert, Education Minister Dan Tehan and Peter Dutton supporter Alan Tudge) broke bread on the set of Nine’s breakfast program Today with nearly 40 paying donors. The guests included two former members of federal cabinet: Minerals Council of Australia chairman Helen Coonan (though how she found the time is beyond us) and Servcorp director Mark Vaile. The former Communications Minister brought along the Minerals Council’s CEO Tania Constable while the former Deputy Prime Minister attended with his chairman Alf Moufarrige, one of Tony Abbott’s long-suffering benefactors. Jamie Briggs never made it past the outer ministry (though in Tudge’s Cities portfolio) but the PricewaterhouseCoopers partner was there too, as was Australian Banking Association boss Anna Bligh, Liberal powerbroker Michael Photios, Jones Lang LaSalle CEO Stephen Conry and Meriton billionaire Harry Triguboff, who’ll no doubt be pleased that Nine’s lot will soon enough be razed and reborn as 460 apartments.
